PS3 Greatest Hits Additions: MAG, Tekken 6, More

Retail evidence already told us about a few of these, but it's nice to have the full update list from Sony.

Today, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) has announced 7 new titles for their ever-expanding Greatest Hits lineup. To qualify as a Greatest Hit, the game must hit a certain sales plateau that few titles hit, and because gamers continue to reward quality in this industry...well, Greatest Hits experiences are some of the best. Here are the new additions to the PS3's exalted library; you can nab any of them for $29.99:

There are now over 40 titles in the Greatest Hits PS3 library and as the press release states, that library features "a broad range of genres, including first-person shooter, platformer, fighting, and action/adventure." And of course, when games do well, you can almost always anticipate another installment in the series: going by the above additions, Insomniac is working on Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, MotorStorm: Apocalypse is on its way, Call of Duty: Black Ops drops in November, and if they don't do another Tekken, we'll be awfully surprised.

Only Demon's Souls seems to be left out in the cold, as Atlus isn't working on a sequel, but another all-new IP called Catherine.

I'll probably give the Street Fighter one a try as I have always liked Street Fighter more than Tekken. Plus I really like what Capcom had done with Street Fighter this gen. Especially the art style. The one thing Capcom has done well this gen.Last edited by Jawknee on 9/28/2010 10:59:38 AM

i'm passing on fighting games for now. i dont see as much value for them since back in the ps2/ps1 days. fighting games are meant to be played in the same room with friends and not online where the slightest bit of lag ruins the game. and since i dont like playing fighting games online because of that so i can wait till its bargain bin price.

I look forward to the crossover games myself. It would seem incredibly difficult for the Tekken team to re-create SF characters for Tekken's combat style. Tekken characters boast a massive set of moves... It's one thing to compress many moves down into a smaller set(SFvsT), but another to have to create a wealth of moves for characters that have never had so many moves to begin with.

Honestly, I won't be surprised if the Tekken version gets cancelled =It just seems impossible to me.

A Crack in Time is freaking fantastic. I didn't like Tools of Destruction much and it kind of put me off of the R&C series but decided to get ACIT. Loved it. Couldn't put it down. Platinumed it within a few weeks.Last edited by Jawknee on 9/28/2010 10:56:23 AM

Yea i was going to pick it up today when i was at Walmart but most retail stores seem to get the games a day after release dates. Every time i try to pick up a game the day its supposed to release no one has it but Gamestop. Stopped going to Gamestop some time ago so i guess ill have to wait till tomorrow.

PS3 is not the lead console. It is not being developed as a multiplat. From Software are working JUST on PS3 (being the only console), and it'll be exclusive in Japan. The Xbox version will be ported by namco bandai, which by the way I really hate because they don't want to give us PS3 owners our Tales of Vesperia/Graces F.
